If You've Got a Baby, Breastfeed

Breast feeding is one of the easiest, cheapest most important types of preventive medicine out there.   Human breast milk has been designed over hundreds of thousands of years to provide babies with exactly what they need.  There is no way formula can compete with that.   Many antibodies are passed through the mother to the child, reducing childhood sickness and promoting greater overall family healthcare.  Not only can it keep your baby healthy, there is evidence to suggest it reduces breast cancer,  Breast feeding also provides for a strong emotional bond between mother and child, which can also lead to benefits down the line.
